C134 On Human Nature

During the banquet, other than Nangong Yu and Yun Luo, the other guests that had stayed behind were also present.

To put it crudely, they were all here to eat for free, so no one would look down on them.

Shangguan Li and Shangguan Shu walked in, smiling brightly.

"This is my elder brother. I believe everyone has heard of him." Shangguan Li introduced him, his words full of respect.

The crowd cupped their hands and bowed towards Shangguan Lu, "Greetings, Eldest Young Master."

Of course, during the fight for the direct leader position, it had been known to everyone around the spirit mountain. Apart from the name Shangguan Li, everyone was familiar with Shangguan Shu.

However, in the eyes of others, Shangguan Shu was a failure, because after all, it was his little brother who had obtained the position of Prefecture Lord.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Shangguan Shu walked over and sat in the empty seat.

As a princess, Shangguan Li naturally sat at the high table.

Just like this, the two brothers were separated by a single person. Yunluo really wanted to make this person "disappear", so she didn't ask why.

But what should he do?

Suddenly, she came up with a plan. She silently cast a spell and the person suddenly covered his stomach, "I'm really sorry. May I ask, Princess, where is the toilet?"

"Just go out and take a left." Shangguan Li was magnanimous, but he did not lose his interest because of this.

"Thank you very much." With that, he left at the speed of the wind.

Nangong Yu coldly stared at the scene in front of his. This little girl was indeed bold. For the sake of the little Jiu Jiu in his heart, he actually dared to toy with others like this.

Seeing that she had succeeded, Yun Luo took the next step. "Young master, I prefer fish. Can you move towards that direction?"

Shangguan Shu didn't want to give her face, so he nodded, "Please, Miss."

And just like that, just like Yun Luo's wish, the two brothers finally sat together.

Cloudfall sat next to Shangguan Shu, watching them like a thief.

Nangong Yu didn't know what to say about his wife. Was she supposed to be flattering Shangguan Li like this? He really did use up a lot of effort.

"I wonder how long Miss Yun Luo and Brother Nan Gong have been married for?" Shangguan Shu was rather curious about her.

"It's not long, young master. It's only been a year." Yun Luo glanced at Nangong Yu, who was sitting across from him, and replied in a proper manner.

Shangguan Li then said to Nangong Yu, "Brother Nangong doesn't seem to like to talk much."

"Hehe, that's how he is. Princess, there's no need to mind." Yun Luo tried to smooth things over. Ai, I can only blame my husband for acting too coldly in front of others.

Shangguan Shu sipped some wine, "The two of you are quite compatible."

One talked too much and the other too little, which was perfect for each other.

Everyone at the table was drinking and chatting merrily.

This was especially true for a middle-aged couple, who were all greedy and petty.

"Look, this chicken drumstick is so fat, let's quickly eat a few more." People who normally only ate green radishes at home would naturally drool when they saw such a sumptuous table full of dishes.

"Mmm mmm mmm, my wife, this wild chicken is not bad too." Normally, he would only see the field chicken in the fields to catch pest for the rice. Who would have thought that he would cook it and eat it?

"Aiyo, this roast duck looks delicious, how about we pack it up and take it back?" After she finished speaking, the woman took out a few pieces of paper from her bosom and unceremoniously wrapped the whole roasted duck up and placed it on her lap.

Yun Luo was stunned. There was actually someone with such thick skin in this world? She had learned a lot today.

Shangguan Li shook his head helplessly, then turned to the servant waiting beside him and instructed him, "Go quickly and call another roast duck from the kitchen."

"Yes, princess."

The one who was squatting in the toilet had no blessings, because even though his stomach was hurting, he couldn't pull it out no matter what. However, he could only get up, because the pain in his stomach was getting worse.

Poor him, who did he offend?

There was another roast duck on the table. Yun Luo stood up and was about to tear it apart when the woman quickly took out a few pieces of paper and wrapped it up.

Yun Luo was completely speechless. Fine, with this kind of face, she probably wouldn't even be able to use silver needles.

"Hubby, one for each of us."

"Good, my wife is really smart." After saying so, he glanced at Yun Luo complacently. Such arrogance, it really made one want to slap him to death.

Shangguan Li reached out to rub his forehead, but words could no longer describe the grief and indignation in his heart. "Go get another roast duck, then give it to Miss Yun Luo."

"Yes, princess." The servant turned to do so.

Yun Luo instantly felt that Shangguan Li had become dozens of times more important to her. They were both people, how could the gap between them be so huge? Was it a genetic problem?

"Princess, actually, in Yun Luo's heart, you've always been a good person, a very good person." This kind of flattery could only be said at a time like this.

The woman who robbed the roast duck muttered scornfully, "Isn't it just a duck? What a snobbish person …"

Nangong Yu couldn't tolerate this any longer. He stealthily took out a silver ingot from his waist and flicked it towards the woman's leg.

"Aiyo …" With a cry of pain, the woman quickly reached out to touch the area where the pain was.

Fortunately, Nangong Yu had only used 50% of his strength, so the roast duck in her lap didn't fall to the ground.

Shangguan Li ignored her and smiled at Yun Luo, "What does Miss mean by this?"

Yun Luo stood up and raised her voice, "Since the princess took up her position, the people who received the sacred water have all kinds of different colors. Since the princess took up her position, the people who received the holy water all kinds of different colors.

"Can you tell me more?" one of the guests asked.

Actually, everyone wanted to know the answer to this question.

Shangguan Li hung his head, a humble smile on his face.

Shangguan Shu, who was standing beside him, looked at his younger brother with a doting look in his eyes.

"Let's talk about the first person. Does anyone remember who got the holy water first?" Yun Luo intentionally kept them in suspense.

"I remember, he was a hooligan, specializing in bad things and causing trouble everywhere." There was a hint of anger in the tone of the guest answering the question. How could such a person be qualified to receive the holy water? Isn't this nonsense?

"That's right." Yun Luo nodded, "Everyone only knows that he is a hooligan, but what they don't know is that everything he did was for his 80-year-old grandma. Her body is weak, and she needs money to capture medicine, that's why he did all sorts of evil deeds and plundered money for his grandma to get medicine for her."

Everyone was silent as they listened to her continue.

"Later on, the old granny contracted a disease that she could no longer cure. The little hoodlum was unable to do so, so he came to the Spirit Mountain to try his luck." Yun Luo narrated this story with great emotion, "He endured the mockery of everyone else, but only you, the princess, showed your gratitude and gave him the holy water."

"Lady Yun Luo, although he did, it was because she wanted to protect her family. I had no choice but to be moved." Only then did Shangguan Li raise his head. "I wonder if anyone has ever seen someone like him. He is unforgivable, guilty beyond compare, yet he cares so much about his loved ones. Humans are human."
